Moberly School District
Climate Survey Information

Introduction and Rationale:

A district climate survey will be implemented in spring 2017 and then continue to be utilized in the years to come. The survey will provide information that will be used to spotlight strengths and address areas of concern. The data will be used to address climate and support continuous improvement.

School climate directly impacts our school district every day. Positive school climate promotes teacher retention, lower dropout rates, decreased incidence of violence, and higher student achievement. A team of district stakeholders, including representatives from a broad cross-section of roles in the district, began meeting in December 2016. In the meetings, the team had conversations about the meaning and importance of school climate. The team also examined instruments that would assist in accurately determining the climate of the Moberly School District, including student, staff, and parent input.

Outcomes:

Inform the development of school-wide improvement and specific action plans.
